Title: ID makers Mark, resembles worm, snake or "U". ID = Dragon Glass , Australia
Post by: MrFlux on February 13, 2017, 05:02:57 AM

I have a paperweight with a mark I can't identify.

The paperweight is approximately 5cm across. there is a mark stamped into the base that, to me, looks like a cartoon worm or snake or a stylised letter "U'. I may be looking at the mark wrong and could be something else all together.

I have taken some pictures, I hope they are clear enough.

Has anyone seen a mark like this before? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Makers Eric Imeson and Carol Capalija, who operated a glassblowing studio called Dragon Glass near Atherton in far north Queensland, Australia. See an earlier thread:

There's another paperweight on a collector's web site here (http://www.paperweightpassion.com/?page_id=19&wppa-album=101&wppa-cover=0&wppa-occur=1).
